Wasnt there already a chart someone created for this this year? To find how many persimmons are related and not related to EG. It was a pretty chart that showed the parentage of persimmons varieties
I couldn’t find the chart but saw this:
Candidates to be free of Early Golden ancestry:
Craggs, Ennis (tetraploid), Gehron (tetraploid), Golden Supreme, Juhl, Miller, Morris Burton, Penland (tetraploid), Pipher, Wabash.
Does anyone have a reasonably complete and authoritative description of the Early Golden group? Or at least some authoritative information. It seems that such info would be very useful both for breeders and for growers.
Early Golden is a popular American persimmon in its own right, but it also has served as the pollen donor producing a number of great crosses. For example, as I understand it, H-63A is Morris Burton x Early Golden, I-94 / Valene Beauty is Lena x Early Golden.
My understandin…
